Hi

I have set up the "Read More" function as set out in the configure excerpts section but would like to change the color of the words Read more. I have tried this <a href="%permalink% "><p><style="color: red">Read more</a></p> as this worked to change color elsewhere but it doesn't here. I also tried adding a ; after red but that made no difference either.

This link is inside a Category Posts widget. I also tried a css insert "a.more-link { color: red; !important } which I found in Wordpress help but that doesn't work either.

Site is http://repdomproperties.com/visitjd/
Wordpress 3.3.2
Atahualpa 3.7.6

Thanks

The style statement is in the wrong place

<a href="%permalink%"><p style="color: red">Read more</a></p>

Thank you for the reply. I see I included a > after the P in the example I sent but had tried it without that previously but it stll did not work. It had worked in this format in this situation (<a href="http://repdomproperties.com/visitjd/event-calendar"> <strong> <center><p style="color:red">Add Your Event Here</strong></center></p></a>) so I assumed it should work here also.

Perhaps you could let me know where the right place is?

Thanks

A P.S. It does work and changes the color to red in IE but not in Firefox or Chrome or Safari? Any suggestions?

As I think about it I think a better solution would be to replace what you have with the following.

<div class="redlink"><a href="%permalink%">Read more</a></div>

Then put the following in the CSS Inserts box

.redlink a {
color: red;
}

And if you wanted to have a hover style for the link use something like the following tweaking as desired.

.redlink a:hover {
text-decoration: underline;
}

Regrettably that didn't work. It stripped the color from IE as well and removed the linking - I guess because of it being in a <div> It's very odd the original works in IE and not other browsers. Usually it's the other way round which is why I use Firefox for web design work.

Any other suggestions would be very welcome

Thanks

I just tested that exact code and it worked fine for me. Where are you putting the code.
